Sets Question at Rest
This statement state stateih ih ihentcomlng entcomlng coming tromone from one who
is 1spr proba obahlycloser bly closer than any anyone one in
Washington to President Roosevelts
canalpolicy apparently apparentljsets sets at rest the
apprehension of the railroad interests
that that4e heavy vy cuts culsin in rates on tho th Isthmus
are arec contemplated n tpmplated Representatives Represen ta thT of f
the lines that would have ha ham been be < n irrected affected
have been in W Washington shlngton for to the past
two weeks weekssufferingapparehtiy suffering apparently from
little less les s than a a panic
These representatives pointed out ut that
the present charge lmrgeper per ton from Colon
to Panama could be cut cutin in half h lr and still
maintain a profitable profifubleoperation operation of the
railroad After July 12 the thePnclfic Pacific Mail
Steamship Steams hip Company monopoly of the
railroad business from Panama to San

With lines now owned by b the com com ¬

to accept general shipments from New

and when therallroad the railroad is double tracked
the route will sustain a heavy volume of
business
Tra Traffic ffic Men Afraid
The traffic men were wer afraid the Gov ¬

Shakes Hands With Natives
The native population is disposed to
leave him to enjoy his vacation
He shook hands this morning with
most of them Although they were dis ¬
appointed a polnted because he did < not afford
them ah an exhibition of broncho busting
they voted oted him a goodfellow and wish ¬

A rancher brought to town a ragged
looking black bear cub tried to get Jake
Borah his guide to purchase and then
turn it loose for the President to chase
and shoot Naturally the offer was de ¬
clined
In fact the danger to the hunt is that
It is yet early in the season and the
ancient and wily bruin the one who
can c rin afford the most sport is in all prob ¬
ability still holed hoiedup up In the snow in
these the canyons where the snow still lies lIe
from ten to fifty feet deep and can only

Incidentally Incldentall it is well to know cnow that
Mr Roosevelt Roosev lt is not going to totalce take any
daring chances in this hunt la spite of

hour this morning absolutely no news
had been beenrecelyed received from the opposing
fleets in Far Eastern waters and the
belief Is IsgrowlnS growing that there will be no
I general engagement for some few days
I
at least
This fact is urged by naval strate ¬
gists who profess to have discussed the
mutter with Japanese naval experts
and is said to be due to the desire of
Admiral Togo not to risk his fleet
against the Russian batleships unless
absolutely a solutcly compelled so to do Inciden
taly it is stated statc that If RogeslvensKy
shows a desire to sail direct to Vladivo ¬
stok he will be permitted to reach there
without having to fight the main Japa ¬
nese fleet
With the Ruslan admiral a mlral In the hal ¬
bor at Vladivostok Togo would resume
the tactics he so thoroughly carried out
at Port Arthur and would try tr to pen
him up in the harbor until siege guns
could be mounted on land and placed
where they could be directed directedagainst against
the Russian fleet in the harbor By this
method the Japanese could retain con ¬
trol of ofthe the sea and their lines of com ¬
munication In Manchuria would be safe
